It's probably an understatement to say that when #Ubisoft first revealed the 10 minute trailer for the original Watch Dogs, the world was taken by storm. It was ambitious and looked like it had the potential to be a massive hit.

Watch Dogs, at first glance, seemed to combine aspects of Grand Theft Auto with a world of complete synchronization that is perpetually connected to the internet and thus can be hacked if a person knows what they're doing. And it looked stunning.

After a few delays (two years) Watch Dogs was finally released in 2014, and it was pretty evident that the vision Ubisoft had for it's new game was almost too ambitious.

It's as if Reddit were turned into a video game...

The game that looked revolutionary, wound up getting bogged down with its dark tone and bland game play. Yet, its commercial success led to an inevitable sequel, and that's what brought us to November 15th, 2016 when Watch Dogs 2 arrived - and fans were absolutely stunned.
